SMUGGLING IN SWEDEN
FLOURISHING AT ALL.PORTS . London, December 10. Tho Stockholm correspondent of the "Manchester Guardian" states: Despite . the closest watching and heavy penalties, smuggling to- Germany is flourishing at all Scandinavian, ports. The smugglers are mainly Germans, but Sometimes Scandinavians. The smugglers display zeal and ingenuity to overcome the lengthening list of prohibited exports, now numbering several hundred items, and including all foodstuffs,' textiles, raw materials, and machinery. The number of Customs, officials has been increased threefold. It is suspected that the German officials are paying fines amounting to tens of thousands of crowns imposed on small traders.—Reuter.
